"ELEMENTS +" versus "ELEMENTS XXL"

Does anyone have any advice about which of these two Photoshop Elements plugins is the most useful one:

Elements XXL
https://www.thepluginsite.com/products/elementsxxl/index2.htm

OR

Elements +
https://elementsplus.net/

My head is spinning after reading about both of them, and it has left me in total confusion.

If you install one or the other, and later decide you don't want it after all, can they be uninstalled from Elements?

@Robyn Denton: Never used Elements xxl and it is a bit steep, always considering that you can get CC photo package for 10 bucks a month (PS and LR) and probably less if you enroll at TAFE for any class and get the Adobe student discount.
That said, I have been using elements+ pretty much from day 1 running several upgrades. I love it. Always have. Only 12 or so bucks now. I was going to find you an old thread on elements+ but I don't seem be able to at the moment. Why don't you dl the trial versions and see how they work for you. Elements+ are scripts basically. You can get free and trial versions of both and yes you can remove elements+ later. Like any plug in.

Thanks for your reply, Bina. I am really unsure about the benefits with getting either one of these, as their lists of features mostly goes over my head; I don't really understand what a lot of the listed features actually do, so can't judge whether they would be of any real help to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

BTW, I'm from Gympie in Queensland, so just north of where you grew up!

smiley I love Gympie and I interned at the gold mine. What an absolutely great place to be living, Robyn!! (Let's bend this banana together) smiley
Back to our elements+. Did you see this post https://elementsplus.net/
under the tab 'about elements+' it gives you a really great run down of the features and versions and exactly how it beefs up an individual version of PSE? Pls don't hesitate to ask, you can also pm me if you like.

Thank you, Bina. I did happen to see that page on the Elements+ site. My trouble is that I have no idea what a lot of these things even do, so I can't tell how useful they would be to me!

I pm'ed you. smiley
